Section XXXIV

The sun finally broke through the thick clouds to reveal a majestic figure, and the sun sprinkled all over the earth, driving away the darkness and cold, making people have a warm feeling in the cold winter morning, and the whole body was also a lot more comfortable.

This is already the early morning of December 7th, the third day that the three companies have withdrawn halfway up the mountain, in other words, they have been fighting with the devils on the land of Fangshan for three days and two nights, countless bloody battles, countless counterattacks and counterattacks, magnifying every minute and second of time to the extreme, and now it is only three days, and everyone on the hillside feels like a few years have passed.

A few veterans raised their heads slightly to look at the sky, and then moved their bodies to make themselves more comfortable, so the action on this ruined position seemed very leisurely, it was the only little enjoyment they had when they were alive!

In the wilderness far east of Fangshan, a team of more than a dozen people was standing quietly in the wind, and a dozen or so officers stood in a straight line, without making a sound, in stark contrast to the lively camp in the distance behind them. In front of these people, three officers stood at random, all holding binoculars and carefully examining the situation on Fang Mountain.

Their movements were casual, and they didn't communicate with each other, but their every move seemed to affect the row of officers behind them, making them straighten up in the cold wind and not move.

After a long time, the fat man in the middle of the front, who was no more than 5 feet long, with a fat and ugly body, broke the silence and said in a deep voice: "Which army of the people is this?" ”

His voice was not loud, and his deep voice did not have any prominence, but in the ears of the officers in the row behind him, it roared like thunder, and there was no hesitation at all, and a lieutenant officer in the team immediately continued: "Report to the Wing Commander, judging from the name tag obtained from the retired Miyagasa Squadron Leader, the mountain should be the 1st Battalion of the 302nd Regiment of the 74th Army of the Chinese Army." ”

In the binoculars, the worn-out blue sky and white Japanese flag on the top of the mountain kept shaking in the wind, as if to show the victory of the Zhina people, which made the fat man slowly put down the telescope in his hand, with an unhappy look on his face, but his mouth was muttering: "The 74th Army? Where did the troops come out? ”

On the side, a Japanese soldier who was more than 6 feet tall and had a thin figure also put down the binoculars in his hand and said respectfully to the fat man on the side: "Wing Commander, the 22nd Wing of Nagagatsu Sabi has fought with this unit in Songhu, and judging from the information they have, this is a temporary patchwork team. ”

The fat man turned sideways, his fat and low body and a pair of round glasses on the bridge of his nose made him look as funny as a ball, but when the eyes of others swept to the rank of Dazuo on his shoulder, all the shortcomings of this person's appearance were covered, and this shining rank clearly showed that the funny fat man in front of him could decide the life and death of countless people.

This person known as Fuji-kun is the commander of the 35th Infantry Wing of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, Fujiisueyoshi Daisa, and at this moment, listening to the words of the deputy wing commander Muto Furuta Shin on the side, he couldn't help but say coldly: "Muto-kun, we have been blocked here for three whole days by the troops that the Shina people temporarily put together. ”

Looking at the stern expression of the wing captain, Muto Furuta Jin said calmly and indifferently: "If you want to capture this small hill, it is actually not difficult, the people of China have been trapped on it for four days, as long as they continue to use cavalry to maintain such a state of encirclement, even if we don't do it in two or three days, they will not be able to hold on." ”

The fat man Osa handed the binoculars to the officer behind him, and then paced back and forth, after listening to Muto Furuta's words, he didn't say anything, and he didn't know if he listened to the deputy's words, which made people feel confused, and his expression was very familiar to Muto Furuta Jin on the side, so there was a smile on his thin cheeks, as if he was not worried about the current battle situation.

After a while, the fat man finally stopped and asked again, "How is the situation on Wakisaka Jiro Osa's side?" ”

Among the officers in the platoon behind him, another person immediately replied: "The 36th Wing is still fighting fiercely, and has not yet broken through the enemy's defensive line. ”

Muto Furuta Jin on the side looked at the co-captain's face gloomy and scary, and the calm smile on his face disappeared, and said with a little solemnity: "Co-captain, the front is the capital of the Shina people, this is a symbol of the country, and the anxiety of the battle situation is also expected, we should still follow the orders of the command to advance step by step." ”

The fat man seemed to have made up his mind as he walked back and forth, and when he heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "It will be meaningless to spend time in such a plot, and if you want to expand your territory and let the banner of the empire fly in this strange land, you must dare to take risks." Inform the headquarters that in half an hour, I will send a brigade to support Wakiita Jiro Osa from the flank, and in addition, the cavalry team of Mori Yago Rokusaku can also be drawn from here to reinforce other battlefields, as long as I concentrate my forces in one place to open a gap, the entire defense line of the Shina people will be breached. ”

Muto Furuta was taken aback when he heard this, and he asked puzzledly, "Captain, what should I do ahead?" In the past few days, in order to open this passage, we have already lost two squadrons. ”

These words also seemed to touch the sore spot in the fat man's heart, but he was also a person with a firm heart, and glanced at the hill in the distance that didn't look tall, but it looked unusually strong, he gritted his teeth, and said in a slowed tone as much as possible: "Muto-kun's previous idea was good, since there is a better way to deal with these people, then don't waste any more shells." With that, the fat man turned around and walked towards the camp, no longer glancing at Fang Shan in the distance.

And Muto Furuta Jin on the side and Nakasa, the other who didn't say a word from beginning to end, after looking at each other, they also looked ahead incredibly, as if they couldn't believe that the captain had suddenly given up the attack that had been going on for several days.

The soldiers of a battalion on the hillside naturally did not know the changes in the enemy's formation in the distance, and the warm sun was shining on them, so that the people who had not closed their eyes all night felt endless sleepiness, for fear that the devils would come up in the dark, they were all staring at the sky and observing the surroundings at night for the past few days, and as soon as there was a movement in the wind, they immediately heard the wind, so that they really repelled several sneak attacks by the devils, but the result was also obvious, they had a huge physical exertion, plus lack of sleep, which made them extremely sleepy, At this moment, when the sun was shining again, there was a snoring sound on the battlefield.

At first, there were only a few soft sounds, and a few squad leaders would also remind them on the side, but as time went by, with the silence under the hillside, even the squad leaders began to doze off.

Zheng Pusheng has not stayed in the battalion headquarters anymore, as the battalion commander, he has been fighting side by side with others on the position of the third company from beginning to end in the past few days, he has fought hand-to-hand with the devil several times, and his arm is still wrapped in thick gauze at this moment, and his face, which was originally handsome, looks hideous because of several wounds, plus the tattered military uniform all over his body, where is there still the slightest appearance of a battalion commander.

At this moment, Zheng Pusheng listened to the snoring sound in his ears, looked at Staff Officer Dai, who had already fallen asleep on the side, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. However, after laughing, he still took off the military coat on his body and gently covered it on Staff Officer Dai's body, this action made Zheng Pusheng grin, because he pulled the wound on his arm, which made him a little painful, but he always endured it and did not make a sound, as if he was afraid that any slight sound would break the sweet dreams of everyone around him.

It wasn't until he endured the pain and covered his coat that Zheng Pusheng's face showed a smile, but the beads of sweat on his forehead showed that his physical condition was really not good. After this action, he lay back to the side, let out a long breath, and looked at Staff Officer Dai on the side with concern.

Although Zheng Pusheng looked down on this guy who graduated from the military academy a little from the beginning, thinking that people like him would only talk nonsense on paper, but after three days of bloody battles side by side, this young officer was so frightened that he cowered in the trench and didn't dare to get up from the beginning, and now he is no different from other veterans, this kind of rapid growth really makes Zheng Pusheng feel impressed, which makes him feel that this guy doesn't seem to be the kind of puss who can only talk on paper, and it seems that he can be appreciated by the regiment, and he is still quite capable.

Thinking like this, Zheng Pusheng's consciousness was also a little blurred, after all, he had several wounds on his body, and he was more worried and tired than others.

The position fell into complete silence, but not everyone fell asleep, Li Wenguang in the second row and Yang Dahu in the third row were quite vigilant looking outside from time to time, and as the main person in charge of this position, Shi also had no intention of sleeping, he stared at the mountain with bloodshot eyes, and his heart was still recalling the words that Camp Commander Zheng said three days ago, the strong and powerful words were like a heavy hammer, hitting their hearts one by one, making them fall to the ground hard, However, this series of blows obviously had an effect, and in the face of this most direct reprimand, the purest killing intent also emerged from the bottom of their hearts.

Thinking about it, the stone involuntarily looked at the bottom of the hillside, the situation was shocking, the bottom of the hillside was stacked with a thick layer of corpses, which had filled all the positions at the foot of the mountain, and there were hundreds of devil corpses, so that the stone retracted his gaze with satisfaction, but at this moment, there was a slight roar on both sides of the mountain, which made the stone feel stunned and secretly nervous.
